In Pressure: Lessons from the psychology of the penalty shootout (New River Books), psychologist Professor Geir Jordet presents his studies of the psychological elements of the penalty shootout, and the universal human stress mechanisms that it triggers. Professors Kjetil Kåre Haugen and Alex Krumer read Jordet’s book, and in their review for idrottsforum.org they find the book to be well-written but regrettably also marred by fundamental flaws in its statistical analyses.

JSEP publishes peer-reviewed research articles by leading world scholars that explore the interactions between psychology and exercise and sport performance, and more. The Forum Editor’s pick from the current issue: Modeling Players’ Scanning Activity in Football by Marius Pokolm, Robert Rein, Daniel Müller, Stephan Nopp, Marie Kirchhain, Karl Marius Aksum, Geir Jordet, Daniel Memmert.

This book uses contemporary theory and research to elucidate key concepts and applied interventions. It includes world-leading expert commentaries of contemporary theoretical and applied approaches in understanding critical issues in soccer, and provides practical implications and insights into working effectively in soccer-related contexts. It will be a vital resource for researchers, practitioners, and coaches within the area of sport psychology and related disciplines.
